The Department of East Asian Studies offers instruction to students who wish to learn about the historic and contemporary cultures of China, Japan and Korea, their interaction with one another, and their encounters with Western cultures. The disciplines pursued in the Department fall mostly within the humanities; additional courses on Asia are given by other departments in the Faculty of Arts and Science (Anthropology, Economics, Geography, History, Philosophy, Political Science, Sociology, and others). The Department of East Asian Studies recommends such courses to its students and will count many towards program requirements. Courses offered by the Department of East Asian Studies fall into two main categories: a) Courses that can be taken by students in other disciplines who
wish to broaden their horizons. These encompass a variety of topics in the
cultures of East Asia. They require no knowledge of East Asian languages. Students seeking counseling should first contact the Undergraduate Co-ordinator, and in addition, all members of the Department provide advice and information, and the Undergraduate Co-ordinator or Program Administrator may direct students to them. In conjunction with Woodsworth College, the Department offers courses during June and July at the University of Hong Kong and in conjunction with the International Student Exchange Office, offers opportunities for exchanges with universities in China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Singapore. Students should also check the web page of the Asian Institute and the Dr. David Chu Program in Asia-Pacific Studies. Undergraduate Co-ordinator and Enquiries: Robarts Research Library,

require a certain level of language proficiency. If
students can demonstrate
during their placement interviews for language courses
that they have already
attained this level, they will be given a language
requirement waiver and will be
free to complete their programs with EAS society-culture
courses. Although the language requirement for the Major
and Specialist
program is 2nd
and 3rd year level, respectively, it does not prevent
students from continuing to study language at higher levels.
However,
only two
credits for major
and three credits for specialist will be counted toward
the fulfillment of the
program regardless of the numbers of language courses
students may take. Specialist program:E AS specialists are especially urged to explore the avenues for study abroad in East Asia offered by the Faculty of Arts and Science Exchange Program. 12 full courses Major program: Minor program: |
